Purpose: Intensive care unit (ICU) readmission negatively impacts patients' outcomes. We aimed to characterize and determine risk factors for ICU readmission within the initial hospital stay after liver transplant (LT).
Materials And Methods: The reference cohort included 369 LT recipients from a Canadian center between 2005 and 2012.
Urine biochemistry in septic and non-septic acute kidney injury: a prospective observational study.

Division of Critical Care Medicine, Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, University of Alberta, 3C1.12 Walter C Mackenzie Center, 8440-112 ST NW, Edmonton, Alberta, T6G 2B7, Canada.
Purpose: Determine whether there are unique patterns to the urine biochemistry profile in septic compared with non-septic acute kidney injury (AKI) and whether urinary biochemistry predicts worsening AKI, need for renal replacement therapy and mortality.
Materials And Methods: Prospective cohort study of critically ill patients with septic and non-septic AKI, defined by the RIFLE (Risk, Injury, Failure, Loss, End-Stage) criteria. Urine biochemistry parameters were compared between septic and non-septic AKI and were correlated with neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), worsening AKI, renal replacement therapy (RRT), and mortality.
